Lab Manager Magazine launches an iPad edition of the magazine that offers additional options to the print and free digital web versions.

Rather than flipping pages, readers of Lab Manager Magazine now have the option of sliding their finger across an iPad screen to read the same timely and important articles found in the print version. For researchers and lab managers already comfortable with reading on a Kindle or iPad, the benefits of this new app are well known: Portability, readability and, when done, nothing to throw away or recycle. This new digital extension of Lab Manager Magazine lets readers access unique management, business, technology, safety, and scientific computing information quickly, easily, anywhere, anytime.

In our May cover story, “’Appifying’ the Laboratory,” we discussed the proliferation of mobile apps in the research laboratory setting. It seems only fitting that Lab Manager Magazine become part of this trend by joining the ever-growing list of laboratory-specific software apps. But rather than providing a tool for scientific research or analysis, this app fulfills the specific and important editorial mission of the magazine: Run your lab like a business.
